@alyssais do you think this is worth backporting to 19.09 & 20.03? Upstream maintainer describes this as slim opportunity for out-of-bound write vs. CVE score 8.1 vs. lot of rebuilds.

Backported. The release notes sound safe. I see a regression reported but hopefully it won't really affect us 🤷‍♂️
